Ms Joanne Bunting: Assembly records
All of Ms Joanne Bunting’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister of Justice for an update on the work of the Criminal Justice Board to detail (i) its workstreams; (ii) the lead agency for each workstream; and (ii) progress reports thus far.
The issue is that there are tenants who have problems and other tenants who wilfully cause mayhem and misery wherever they live and wherever they are moved, and the Housing Executive is obliged to house them. Those tenants are persistent offenders, and it seems that the thresholds to deal with them are extremely high.…
The Minister will be aware that those are difficult and controversial issues that often involve competing rights. Can the Minister give reassurance to the House about privacy in the home and that the PSNI will not be turned into the thought police?
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he will consider reviewing the relevant policies and sanctions to enable the Housing Executive to deal more effectively with persistently problematic tenants.
The Minister will be aware that often the number of those with special educational needs are not included in the number of attendees at a school, thereby giving a false impression of the capacity and the spaces available at that school. Does the Minister have any plans to review that policy?
Applicability Motion - Regulation (EU) 2023/2411 That Regulation (EU) 2023/2411 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 October 2023 on the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products and amending Regulations (EU) 2017/1001 and (EU) 2019/1753 should be added to the Windsor…
To ask the Minister of Education how many schools have associate principals, broken down by (i) constituency; and (ii) the length of time spent in each school.
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister whether they will retain the inclusion of death, dying and bereavement in a new Programme for Government, as agreed in the 2017-2022 mandate.
To ask the Minister of Justice how much of the Legal Aid budget was spent on practitioners outwith the legal profession in the last five years, broken down by category.
To ask the Minister of Justice what discussions she has had with the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs regarding an animal cruelty register.
A significant problem remains with prescription drugs in our prison system, specifically those that prisoners look after and about which those in the Prison Service are not entitled to know because of patient confidentiality. What conversations has the Minister had with the Minister of Health to address that serious…
I am grateful to the Minister for her clarification and assurances, because the issue caused the Committee some consternation. No doubt, we will return to that discussion at a later stage. As you will appreciate, Minister, I will make some remarks on it as I continue. In the interim, on behalf of the Justice…
Eight years, £40 million, 50,000 pages of evidence on 101 murders and abductions by the Provisional IRA (PIRA), 35 files to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) and zero prosecutions: that is the state of play in the Operation Kenova interim report. It makes recommendations in respect of a range of criminal justice…
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that, given the emphasis on skills and apprenticeships and their importance to our economy, in such a climate, it is utter folly to even consider the closure of the Castlereagh college?
The Minister will be aware that the limitations on capacity are having a significant impact on planning and, therefore, growth and the provision of much-needed housing. For example, in my constituency, in Dundonald, all infrastructure, including roads, is at capacity, and there are subsequent problems with drainage…
Going forward, what will be the wider impact of the Minister's decision on contracts? What will it mean for other Departments — for example, Justice — and the PSNI? What consideration did, and will, he give to those factors?
To ask the Minister for Communities whether he will review the policies, sanctions processes and thresholds to deal with persistent Housing Executive problem tenants.
